Product Information and Quality Evidence
Product labels, laboratory reports, certifications and clinical studies answer different questions. This page explains those distinctions so that a product statement can be read with its actual evidence.
Four evidence categories
| Category | What it can establish | What it does not establish by itself |
|---|---|---|
| Current label or manufacturer declaration | What the identified source declares about ingredients, serving and product details | Independent verification of potency, sourcing or clinical effects |
| Matched laboratory report | Results for the identified sample, lot, analytes and methods | Every batch, every possible contaminant or health effectiveness |
| Applicable certification or manufacturing record | The defined scope, entity, product or process covered by that record | Automatic clinical benefit or an FDA product endorsement |
| Human study | Results for the actual intervention, population, duration and outcomes studied | Effects of a different or untested finished formula |
Read the product version and document scope
A quality entry should identify the current SKU or formula, the record being cited, its date and what it covers. A label-declared fact remains a label-declared fact until the relevant supporting evidence has been assessed. Missing public documentation is an unresolved documentation question; it is not proof that the product failed testing.
For chaga, keep the material and analyte exact. A declaration of chaga mycelium powder standardized to total polysaccharides must not be rewritten as fruiting body or a beta-glucan result.
Registration and certification are different
FDA does not issue or recognize food-facility registration certificates from private businesses. Registration, where it applies, is an internal compliance matter; registration is not FDA approval of a supplement or proof of its effectiveness.
A GMP certificate, organic certificate or laboratory accreditation claim must name its actual issuer and scope. Do not infer a current product certification from a facility description or an unrelated supplier document.
Country-of-origin statements need their own basis
The presence of “Made in USA” on a label shows what the label declares. An unqualified US-origin marketing claim requires appropriate sourcing and manufacturing substantiation. It should not be presented as independently verified solely because it appears on packaging.
Match a report to your question
A laboratory report belongs to the product identity, lot, material, analytes, methods and limits it names. Where a current matched report is made available, its scope should be clear. Where a particular document has not been verified for publication, keep that status specific to the claim and product involved.
Label records and manufacturer documents on file
As of October 9, 2026, every Pilly formula has a verified Supplement Facts or Nutrition Facts record, read from shipped bottles or from the manufacturer’s listing. Those records support the amounts shown on product pages. They are label records, not laboratory tests.
The manufacturer publishes a Certificate of Analysis for each production lot and facility certificates for the plants that make our products. We keep the current documents on file. What they cover, stated exactly:
| Products | Facility | What the lot certificates test |
|---|---|---|
| Reishi Relax, Adaptogen Vitality and Cordyceps Energy Gummies; Adaptogen Immunity, Reishi Calm and Energy & Cognition Drops | Manufacturer certified to NSF/ANSI 455-2 GMP for gummies and ingestible liquids (certificate on file, expires July 2027); FDA-registered facility | Finished-product microbiology: total plate count, yeast, mold, coliforms, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella |
| 10-Mushroom Gummies | Packager certified to NSF/ANSI 455-2 (expires March 2027); FDA-registered facility | Heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic by USP 233), microbiology and allergen review; the 250 mg blend is confirmed by raw-material identification and process control, not by a direct finished-batch assay |
| Chaga Mushroom Complex | Manufacturer holds UL GMP certification for capsules (expires December 2028); FDA-registered facility | Total polysaccharides assay, heavy metals per serving, gluten, microbiology, capsule weight and disintegration |
| Premium and Vitality Mushroom Coffee | Roaster operates under FDA current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements for food (statement on file); no third-party GMP certificate | Third-party tests for heavy metals and a mycotoxin panel on the roasted coffee lot, plus yeast and mold; caffeine is not measured |
A lot certificate describes the lot it names. We do not present a certificate result as a measurement of the bottle in your hand unless the lot numbers match, and we do not describe a microbiology-only certificate as potency testing. Beta-glucans are not measured on any current document; the Chaga certificate reports total polysaccharides.
If you want to see the document behind a statement on a product page, contact customer care with the product name and the lot code printed on your bottle.
